Post-Bachelor’s Certificate Program
The certificates are designed for all who wish to continue taking courses after they have earned a Bachelors degree. The program is open to all who wish to continue their formal study of History but do not plan to pursue another degree. The certificates are especially well suited to the needs of secondary and middle school history and social studies teachers. Those who possess a Bachelor of Arts degree in history from Villanova University or any other accredited university are eligible. Applicants who hold degrees in other fields may also be admitted, subject to the approval of the history department’s Graduate Steering Committee.
The Post-Bachelor’s Certificate program can be tailored to the student’s specific needs. Students may choose from the history department’s regular course offerings on the basis of their own interests and needs. Students must complete 15 credits to be awarded a certificate. Students may earn multiple certificates.
The five available Certificates in history are:
- Graduate Study in History
- Graduate Study in American History
- Graduate Study in European History
